Well… The following is everything I can dig up on the NEC PCI USB
card. The same occurs for the onboard SiS USB. I’m no code writer so I
can’t tell if everything matches in detail. If anyone sees anything
goofy, please let me know. Meanwhile I’ll do a repair reinstall on XP
so I might be “offline” for a day or two while it collects all the
updates.

I apologize if I give anyone a headache even half as big as mine.


I have a suitably decrepid USB card from my junk pile, to test
by inserting in my new computer. This is from the tail end of setupapi.log.

Your OS doesn't seem to be searching in the same way, for a match.
On mine, "something" got launched by the services.exe line, but
what exactly, I don't know. All I can say is, as a result of scanning
the INF files in the inf folder, a match was found. I'm going to
try a reboot now, and see what happens during the next boot.
If anything interesting happens, I'll post back.

Had another look in the C:\Windows\inf folder, and the last thing
to change in there, is the date on INFCACHE.1. Mine is 1422KB
in size. There is a reference to INFCACHE in this page.

There is a whole bunch of this process I don't understand,
so I'll leave it there for now.
